Smith Industries A 2-0 Filter Separator 8 5/8" x 2'

The Smith Industries A 2-0 Filter Separator is a compact, non-code pressure vessel designed for separating liquids and solids from gas streams in industrial applications, particularly in oil and gas processing. This vertical cylindrical unit features an internal filter element with a central rod and perforated plate for efficient filtration, making it suitable for low-pressure environments such as wellhead separation or small-scale gas processing. Key benefits include its lightweight design for easy installation, corrosion-resistant construction (though this unit shows external rust), and simple maintenance with accessible top and bottom connections. Drawbacks may include limited pressure rating (15 PSI max), restricting use to non-high-pressure systems, and its non-code status, which means it's not certified for certain regulated applications. Compared to similar products like those from larger manufacturers (e.g., Cameron or Exterran), it offers cost-effectiveness for budget-conscious operations but may lack advanced features like automated controls. Ideal for upstream oilfield use, it provides reliable performance in removing contaminants, enhancing downstream equipment longevity. This used unit from 1992 shows signs of wear but appears structurally intact.
